Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my dad's 51st birthday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Here is a poem I found for you today....

I find myself wondering...
Did I give you your due..
For all that you've done for me
Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories
For helping me deal with life's stresses
For helping me accept my defeats
And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
Good judgement, courage, and being true
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared
Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now
You taught me right from wrong....
I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated
I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along.

Thanks Dad for all you have done for me and taught me throughout life. I can only pray that as we dive into this new chapter of our lives, parenthood, that I only take the lessons I have learned and the parenting style you and mom had and carry that on with our child.
Love ya Dad and I hope you have a Happy Birthday today!!
